[quote=Anonymous]Even if your child has had what you *think* will be the entire kindergarten curriculum prior to entering kindergarten, your child will not wilt and die.  S/he will be maturing in ways that are not part of the curriculum and there will be social advances and challenges and creative thinking opportunities.

I seriously do NOT understand the preoccupation in this area with the possibility of kids being BORED!

Life IS boring.  Deal with it.  Didn't most of us have REALLY boring summers?  Did we fall apart?  No.  It gave us time to think.  I know a guy who was valdictorian of a large engineering college.  He went to elementary and HS with me.  We never had such a thing as Talented and Gifted programs or AP.  HOW on earth did he survive, you ask?!  Clearly he is/was smarter than pretty much all the other kids.  But, really, he did survive and went on to college and a PhD in engineering.  Let your kids be bored a little.  It won't kill them or their love of learning.  It's not the end of all that is good and right.  [/quote]
